Markus Bockmuehl studies Simon Peter's highly diverse profile and reception in second-century Rome and Syria, where certain communities and individuals continued to claim direct or proximate access to living memory of the apostles and their disciples. In Part I Bockmuehl documents the persistent presence of Peter in personal and collective memory, and illustrates Peter's place in relation to modern study of Jesus and Paul.
